Entertainment-focused private investment firm Coral Tree Partners has closed its inaugural round of funding with committed capital of approximately 470 million, well above the initial target of 350 million.
Per Coral Tree, inaugural fund was “significantly oversubscribed above its original hard cap” and “received strong support from a range of high‐quality institutional investors, including endowments, foundations, insurance companies, pension plans, institutional family offices and funds‐of‐funds.”
Founded by former Shamrock Capital Advisors partners Will Wynperle and Alan Resnikoff, Coral Tree Partners is focused on investments in the media, entertainment, marketing services, and communications industries, lower middle market buyouts, and late state growth equity investments.
Currently, the Los Angeles-based company has two investments to its name: Loaded, a Santa Monica, Calif.‐based global talent management and marketing firm that works in the gaming influencer market, and Subject Matter, a Washington, D.C.‐based strategic communications, creative content, advertising and government relations firm.

The CW is giving fans of The Flash and Arrow another crossover of sorts this season, although it doesn’t look like it’ll involve any of the series regulars from either show. No, instead Falling Skies actor Doug Jones, who will be guest-starring in Episode 19 of Arrow, titled “Broken Arrow,” as Deathbolt (casting news that was announced last month), has also revealed that he’ll be appearing in the penultimate episode of The Flash‘s first season. In The Flash and Arrow universe, Deathbolt, aka Jake Simmons, will be “a metahuman with the ability to harness and weaponize plasma energy.” It still remains unknown whether Simmons got his powers from the particle accelerator explosion, which has been behind the origin of all the powers for The Flash’s methaumans, or if there will be a different explanation for his abilities. Perhaps the most interesting part of this news is...

Oliver Queen is about to face his first bona fide metahuman villain in the shape of Doug Jones’ Deathbolt…
It was only a matter of time, we suppose, until the superpowered metahuman mayhem of The Flash started seeping into Arrow. Central City and Starling aren’t that far apart, after all. Although some would argue there was something a little super about Arrow’s version of Solomon Grundy in season 2, the show’s first iron-clad metahuman baddie will come in the shape of Doug Jones’ Deathbolt.
Deathbolt is the supervillain persona of Jake Simmons, who has been knocking about the comic book universe since 1983. Now, he’s been mildly reimagined as a metahuman with ‘the ability to harness and weaponize plasma energy.’ He will pop up soon in season 3 episode 19, titled Broken Arrow.
Although it’s not confirmed that the Central City particle accelerator explosion will be the cause of Deathbolt’s powers,...

Super-powered individuals may run rampant on the streets of Central City each week on The Flash, but Arrow exists in a more realistic, “grounded” corner of the DC TV universe. That may soon change, however, as IGN has learned that Oliver Queen will soon go up against his very first metahuman.
Doug Jones – perhaps known best for playing Hellboy‘s right-hand man and fellow demon fighter Abe Sapien – has joined the series as DC Comics supervillain Deathbolt. The character is the alter ego of Jake Simmons, who was first introduced in 1983 and has the power to manipulate electricity. On Arrow, he’ll be a metahuman with the ability to harness and weaponize plasma energy.
Oliver has faced off with super serum-enhanced individuals like Deathstroke and Cyrus Gold (the man who becomes Solomon Grundy) in the past, and even engaged in some fisticuffs with Barry Allen earlier this season, but this...

Metahumans aren’t just staying in Central City anymore, as one will make his way to Starling City in an upcoming episode of Arrow. Falling Skies actor Doug Jones will play DC Comics villain Deathbolt in The CW superhero drama. The casting news was first reported by IGN.com. Per IGN, even though Deathbolt (a.k.a. Jake Simmons), who was first introduced in All-Star Squadron #21 in 1983, possesses the power to manipulate electricity in the comics, he will be “a metahuman with the ability to harness and weaponize plasma energy” when he first appears on Arrow in Episode 19 of Season 3, which is titled “Broken Arrow.” It also remains unclear at this time whether Simmons got his powers from the particle accelerator explosion, which has been behind the origin of all the powers for The Flash’s methaumans, or if there will be a different explanation for his abilities.

Though Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) has appeared on Arrow, the titular Emerald Archer has yet to face off against an actual SUPERvillain over the course of the show's run. Well, that will change in the upcoming nineteenth episode (titled "Broken Arrow") when he takes on Deathbolt. This character -- real name is Jake Simmons -- was first introduced in All-Star Squadron #21 back in 1983, and had the power to manipulate electricity. According to IGN, in Arrow Simmons will "be a metahuman with the ability to harness and weaponize plasma energy." Deathbolt will be played by Doug Jones, who should be well known around these parts as a frequent collaborator of Guillermo del Toro's, on projects such as Hellboy, Pan's Labyrinth and The Strain. He also starred in Fantastic Four: Rise Of The Silver Surfer as the cosmic Marvel hero of the title.
